Teaching & Research

About Teaching & Research

The Harvard Art Museums draw from their comprehensive collections to advance teaching, learning, and research for Harvard students and faculty, visiting scholars and artists, and local community members of all ages.

Charlotte Leib, curatorial intern at the Harvard Art Museums and graduate student at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, will give this gallery talk.

Presented in conjunction with the exhibition The Bauhaus and Harvard (February 8–July 28, 2019), the talk will discuss how the New Architecture of the Bauhaus aimed to transform the domestic dwelling into a rational, efficient, and functional space while also seeking to bring inside and outside space into closer harmony. Leib will focus on photographs and drawings of three projects in Dessau, Germany: the Bauhaus Campus (1926), the Bauhaus Faculty Housing (1926–28), and the Törten Housing Development (1926–28).

Free with museums admission. Gallery talks are limited to 15 people and tickets are required. Ten minutes before each talk, tickets will become available at the admissions desk.

Please meet in the Calderwood Courtyard, in front of the digital screens between the shop and the admissions desk. Museums staff will be on hand to collect tickets.
